Rockford Health System Ambassadors’ Golf Play Day was on Monday, August 16, at Rockford Country Club to raise funds to support the expansion of the Surgery Department at Rockford Memorial Hospital.

Bob Grass and George Giorgianni participated in the annual tournament, playing with Dennis L’Heureux, the system CIO, and Dr. David Deutsch, CMPO (Chief Medical Process Officer). The tournament was a unique experience in that the theme of healthcare resonated on multiple holes. Driving a golf ball from a wheel chair, putting blindfolded and driving with a child’s size iron gives a great perspective of the role we play in helping others. Real pressure also came from the requirement to play each hole with a ball autographed by Rockford’s CEO, Gary Kaatz. Only teams finishing the tournament with “the Gary Ball” were eligible for a nice door prize. The Unibased team is proud to announce that they surprisingly finished with the “Gary Ball” with a score of 7 under par. Looking forward to next year!!
